Etymology

The term 'lubricator' derives from the Latin word 'lubricare', which means 'to make smooth or slippery'. This Latin term is rooted in 'lubricus', signifying 'slippery' or 'smooth'. The use of lubricators dates back to ancient times when oil and grease were first used to reduce friction in wooden carts and metal machines. As technology advanced, the need for effective lubrication became apparent, leading to the development of more sophisticated lubricators in the industrial revolution. The modern hydraulic and pneumatic systems we see today often incorporate lubricators, marking significant advancements from their historical predecessors.
